L’Homme Arme follows his marching orders; his final tribute to freedom. In this War and Peace series we are reminded of man’s adherence to the call of duty and sacrifice. Artistic director, Alan Boyer, captures more than a military march; a march for glory becomes a march of death as we look into the face of human suffering.  What is the purpose of glory when men’s hearts begin to fail them? What is the purpose of glory when there is no one around to celebrate it with you?

I am reminded of the recent Presidential Election series, and encourage you to read the three articles posted there. When you get to the last one in the series, open the “Comments” section of that article and read my response to one of the comments. Towards the end of my response, I included the You Tube video clip of Hitler’s first speech as Berlin’s new Chancellor and hope for Germany. Its very interesting to watch and compare; pay attention to the slides and overall mood displayed in this part of the concert.

Look forward to the next article which promises to ignite your heart as you hear screams of the dying, a trumpet’s cry, and the hope of man engulfed in flames. What happens next will astound you.
